As the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway approaches, each Cup organization is gearing up for the event with a mix of good and bad news.
23XI Racing is feeling positive as Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick had strong finishes in last year’s All-Star Race. However, Reddick’s recent performance has been lacking, with three consecutive races outside the top 10.
Front Row Motorsports is celebrating back-to-back top-10 finishes for Michael McDowell and Todd Gilliland. However, Gilliland’s position in the standings remains unchanged from last year, with a larger points gap to overcome.
Hendrick Motorsports is riding high with Kyle Larson’s defending champion status and strong performances from Chase Elliott, William Byron, and Alex Bowman. Despite this, Byron’s winless streak is a cause for concern.
Joe Gibbs Racing is seeing success with Ty Gibbs’ improved results and Denny Hamlin’s playoff points lead. However, the team’s lackluster performance in last year’s All-Star Race is a point of contention.
Other teams like JTG Daugherty Racing, Kaulig Racing, Legacy Motor Club, Richard Childress Racing, Rick Ware Racing, RFK Racing, Spire Motorsports, Stewart-Haas Racing, Team Penske, Trackhouse Racing, and Wood Brothers Racing are also facing a mix of good and bad news as they prepare for the upcoming race.
With each organization striving for success on the track, the NASCAR All-Star Race promises to be an exciting and competitive event for both drivers and fans alike.
